This adminsitration is a ****ing joke!

DO you not see your hyperbole? Sad. Really sad.

AUSTAN GOOLSBEE:I think the world vests too much power, certainly in the president, probably in Washington in general for its influence on the economy, because most all of the economy has nothing to do with the government.

Sad but true.

Yes, the hyperbole is sad. And it is true too many are resorting to these days instead of arguing honestly. Truely sad.

Yes, I do since you asked. Of course, I'll respond in kind to those I debate with. But I try very hard to explain my position and why I think the way I do with exaggeration or nisrepresenting the person I'm debating.

But this is another example. What was written that I responded to was clear hyperbole. No little girls have been molested as apdst suggests. It's wild and dishonest hyperbiole. Yet, you seem to have a problem with me pointing it out and not with him for throwing it out there. Do you see the problem with that at all?

I agree it's not actual molestation, but it is still the "feeling up within folds and genitalia" that damn well feels like it. The feeling is what matters, and if you stifle the outrage of the people by this inconvenience, I can see further backlashes.

No, it really doesn't. It's an onverraction, a misrepresentation fo what is going on.

It's unreasonable search.

Different argument. Something can be unreasonable, even ineffective, and not equal the overreaction some here are expressing. It isn't molestation or anything like it. Once we argee to that, then we can actually have a reasonable debate.
